[Freeciv] Re: RFE: terrain improvement: canal

[Fishpark <fishpark77@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't care much for the canal improvement because I
fear it will open the old argument of 'I should be
able to sail a frigate into a river (canal) and attach
a city'.

But I do like the idea of Communism enabling quick
building of 'grand works' such as those canals, but
also fortresses, artificial islands (terraform while
on a ship, currently very expensive), or even wonders,
and definitelty spaceship structurals, components and
modules.
